Default Broken MAP Sensor housing. Advice?

Just as the title reads. I have a FAST 92 but I had planned on selling my LS6 intake. Well I just....just made a bone headed move today and the nipple that houses the larger vacuum hose broke off. From my understanding, there isn't a replacement for these. I don't know what to do. I don't want to throw away this intake simply because of that housing. Advice?

I've repaired a stock intake with two part epoxy. It still works fine, and I'm pushing 10lbs boost through it. Although I would guess it will hurt the resale value of it some.

Hmm ok. Kind of a last resort.

I remember mitchcole on here replacing that plug. But he had an LS1 manifold to pirate it from. And it wasn't a simple task.....
But it can be done.

The CLIP that secures it in the manifold is on the INSIDE and usually breaks when removed. Give it a try and remove it. Find a LS1 intake (usually almost free) and scavenge that plug and clip.


You can cut it off and try tapping it with a pipe thread tap and screwing in a brass fitting!
